More Appropriately Named the "Go Ahead, Look Back" Series
This article from the Guardian Online describes a current London concert series in which artists play an album live from beginning to end, including among others Iggy Pop's Funhouse and Gang of Four's Entertainment.
The article then gives several artists' suggestions (I don't want to spoil the surprise, but let's just say the song "Sweet Leaf" is mentioned somewhere).
Personal aside: Many years ago in Boston, we saw Red House Painters perform the Rollercoaster album from beginning to end, which was a particular surprise since they had a new album to promote. (I remember cracking up when Kozelek asked for the purple "Sensitive Guy" lights during a couple of the songs. He apparently does have a sense of humor about himself.)
What albums would you want to see performed? Let's divide this into two categories: the living and the dead. Since we don't have comments anymore, email me your selections at teapot[at]dailygusto.com, and I'll post them later.
